It is difficult to find all of the information regarding whether or not a geocache can be placed in a specific park. To assist this goal, geocache guidelines have been collected and placed here. This is by no means a complete list! It relies upon users to make sure that updates are submitted and information for other parks is added. If something is wrong with this list or if you have additional information, please help me out and submit it so the database can be updated.

Make sure to check with the individual forest's regulations before hiding a cache. To see if any guidelines are listed on this page, select the state and perhaps the county in which the forest is located. Web Site: forestry.about.com/od/mappinggis/p/fed_geocache.htm Submitted by: Tyler Akins |
